Alison Wonderland

I've always been on the fence when it comes to Goldfrapp. Some of their material I liked, other stuff not so much and I always got the impression that frontwoman Alison was something of a she-devil.

That said, the band's latest single 'Rocket' has nestled itself in my brain these past few weeks and I have to reluctantly concede that it's one of the finest pop singles I've encountered this year.



The band's album 'Head First' is due in a couple of weeks' time and, based on these 30 second previews, it seems there's plenty more slinky electronica to infest my ears and I may not be quite done with eating my words.

You win on this occasion, Alison. Rest assured, next time, you'll not be so lucky.
